March Of Dimes- Bucks For Babies Challenge!

Hello Blue Mountain Region! This is the last time I’ll be coming to you on the Blue Mountain Region blog before we meet in person at CLT next week at Union High School! This week, we’re going to discuss a project that’s very dear to our hearts as both an organization- and as people. In the past few years, Oregon FBLA has participated in the March Of Dimes challenge put out by the national chapter as well as another fundraiser that we select as a state.

This year, the State Officer team, along with the Board of Advisers and the Board of Trustees, decided to focus solely on the March of Dimes for the state-wide fundraiser. As you all know, it’s a great cause, and the more support we can give, the better!

Now for the logistics of this year’s challenge. As a chapter your goal is to raise as much money for the March of Dimes as possible. There is no set way you have to do it. It’s completely up to you. The winner(s) will be determined on a per-capita basis. In short- raise the most money per person, and you win!

We haven’t determined what the prize will be; but the warm and fuzzy feeling you get inside will be well worth it, I’m sure!

It’s a great cause-as you already know, and I strongly encourage 1,000,000,000,000% participation! One last thought before I go- Albert Einstein said it best when he said: “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”

As always- Keep in touch!
